Chapter 64 The Gentle Look Of Crystal

Wanting to cheer him up, she hugged his neck and uttered affectionately, "Daddy"

Henry was stunned at first, then his heart fluttered.

It didn't stop even after he arrived at his workplace.

At ten in the morning, Jamie knocked on the door and entered his office. Immediately, she noticed Henry seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood and appeared even more handsome than usual.

With a smile, she informed, "The legal counsel from Sloan Group wishes to meet you, Mr. Miller. I've checked your schedule. At four in the afternoon-

"I'm not meeting them! Relevant authorities have filed an indictment for Sloan Group's financial problems. They should solve their own problem."

Jamie was slightly surprised. The CEO of Sloan Group is Mr. Miller's in-law, but Mr. Miller doesn't show him any kindness.

Maintaining her professional smile, she responded, "Understood, Mr. Miller."

Upon returning to her office, she replied to Sloan Group's legal counsel.

Naturally, the news traveled to Robert, who wasn't surprised to receive it. Henry's clearly targeting me. Why would he save me when he'd rather kick me when I'm down? Even though this crisis isn't that serious, I can't do anything. For example, being with Crystal or dealing with John. Henry truly is the Hades of the legal industry. He's skilled at manipulating people. I thought I'd become ruthless after working in the corporate world for years. However, I admit I'm no match for Henry.

Frustrated, Robert stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and smoked one cigarette after another. Even when Sloan Group faced its greatest catastrophe, he had never smoked as much as he was at that moment because Crystal would always tell him that it was not good to smoke too much.

After that, he popped a mint candy into his mouth.

He had thought that Crystal was annoying in the past and that she was useless to him.

As attractive as she is, she's dense. I wouldn't have been with her for four years if I wasn't trying to make John a scapegoat. However, now that I've lost her, I can't help feeling empty. It's probably because I'm just not used to her absence. Yeah, that must be it.

Unlock succeeded heard a knock on the door.

His secretary ambled into the room and informed him there was a bit of a problem with at mall he had purchased at the start of the year.

Robert replied flatly, "Let's go check it out."

Half an hour later, they arrived at the mall in question.

By the time Robert settled the issue with the mall, it was already four in the afternoon. Hist secretary brought him a simple meal. "You haven't had lunch yet, Mr. Sloan. You should eat at little." However, Robert had no appetite. He said, "Let's return to the office first."

As the elevator at the office on the fourth floor was inoperational, he had to take the public elevator.

That soured his mood even further.

When he arrived at the first floor, a glint flashed past his

He saw Crystal.

eyes.

She was shopping alone and holding a few bags. At that moment, she was attentively browsing around in a famous men's clothing shop.

It wasn't difficult for Robert to guess that she was picking clothes for Henry.

That sight wounded him and he quickly returned to his car. He did not want to look at longer.

Closing his eyes, he instructed his driver to send him back to the Sloan residence.

His secretary had spotted Crystal, too, but she didn't have the nerve to speak of the latter.

Chelsea was shocked when Robert returned. She wanted to ask him about company matters. when Robert ascended the stairs, loosened his tie, and said, "I'm tired, Mom. I want to rest." Chelsea wanted to say something when she spotted his expression but kept her mouth shut.

Upon entering his room, Robert slammed the door shut. He lay on the bed, covering his teary eyes with one arm. His mind was filled with Crystal's gentle look.
